For a look worthy of art gallery strolling or a fancy lunch with a view, the key is to up the ante on something simple and classic. Take the simple style of a slip dress and elevate it by cutting from luxe velvet fabric.

I have an hourglass shape, with a little heavier bottom. The top of the dress is a size too big, and the bottom is a size too small! Seems a little long as it hits be below thr knee ans im 5'8". Fabric is better than expected.
